RE: Incorrect password

I tried the PAM authenticate version of checklogin.pl with no joy, and I
tried running neomail as suid root still with no joy. Same error.

It worked fine on my old linux box!

What are the permissions of /etc/shadow?  Unless it is group owned by "mail"
(a bad thing) or you configure neomail to run as "suid root" (bad, but not
quite as bad) you'll see it continue to fail.

IIRC, there is a replacement checklogin.pl script that supports PAM
(pluggable authentication module) that may work for your configuration.
This would be the graceful way to do it.  Hopefully someone else on this
list can point you to it.


Have a nice day :-)
